The 'Watchmen Do It' meme originates from the 2009 superhero film 'Watchmen,' directed by Zack Snyder. The scene features the uncompromising vigilante Rorschach, played by Jackie Earle Haley, confronting the god-like Dr. Manhattan, portrayed by Billy Crudup, in the snowy wastes of Antarctica. After learning of Ozymandias' plan to save the world through a horrific deception, Rorschach refuses to stay silent and demands that Dr. Manhattan kill him to stop him from exposing the truth. He screams the iconic line 'Do it!' with raw desperation and rage. In internet culture, this clip has become a staple for representing feelings of total resignation, self-destructive bravado, or situations where someone is daring another person to deliver a finishing blow. It is frequently used when a person knows they are in trouble and simply wants to get the inevitable outcome over with. Example captions include: 'Me when my friend says they have a roast that will ruin my life,' 'When you've already accepted you're failing the final exam,' and 'When you see the 'Low Battery' notification but you keep scrolling anyway.'
